Mompha and EFCC Engage in Online Battle

 Following a report posted on social media by The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) stating that the sum of 35 billion naira was discovered in bank accounts linked to businessman and socialite, Ismaila Mustapha better known as Mompha, the socialite in response to the allegation, labelled the commission "The most useless and corrupt Nigeria government agency", a description which provoked the EFCC to challenge the businessman to prove his allegations. In return to the commission's challenge, Mompha again referred to them as "useless and jobless" for deigning to respond to his earlier allegations.

Mompha is currently faced with money laundering charges brought against his company, Ismalob Global Investment Limited, by the EFCC. The agency arraigned Mompha on an eight-count charge, including conspiracy to launder funds obtained through unlawful activity, retention of proceeds of criminal conduct, and failure to disclose assets and property, among others. Mompha’s trial has been ongoing since January 2022, with the recent testimony from the EFCC’s witness shedding new light on the case.
